Counting sheep before I sleep

As I say my prayers to sleep

I think of all the samplers we keep

I think of all the history within

Each motif and how they blend.

Unto our life in some small way

Just as it did in vintage days

Our needles and threads have a rhythm all their own

Like a fingerprint that defines our very soul

Our hearts and lives feel complete

when needle and thread meet.

It's one part of our life we have control

Because we choose what we might hold

in our needles and threads, stitching in and out

of special linens we couldn't do without

So, as you hold your needle and thread

remember that  you are special indeed

for what you stitch reflects your heart

and what your heart reflects is thee
